By HOWARD J. GROSSMAN
Special to The Dallas Post
Tom Peters and Nancy Austin
have written a book titled “A Pas-
sion for Excellence” which follows
the original book written by Peters
and Waterman, ‘In Search of
Excellence.” What the latest book
does is provide many additional
examples of the pursuit of excel-
lence, but the word ‘‘passion’’
becomes critical in light of their
considerable case studies where
strong powerful instincts for leader-
ship or as they call it ‘coaching’
are pervasive instruments leading
toward a quality of excellence
which dominates the management
of those companies, non-profit insti-
tutions, governments and other clas-
sic cases described in the book.
Peters & Austin feel that ‘“Man-
agement by Wandering Around’ is
the best case for achieving excel-
lence. People as human relation-
ships are more important than pure
technology. If they had their way, 50
page policy statements and manuals
and rules and regulations would be
thrown away and inovation and
entrepreneurship substituted as a
basis for management decision
making.

While you're walking, remember:
— Always travel with a friend. Two
heads are better than one, espe-
cially if there’s an emergency.
Strangers usually pick on one
person, not two.
— A stranger is anyone you and
your parents don’t know well.
— You and your friends must never
take candy, money, ‘medicine, or
anything else from a stranger.
— If a stranger in a car asks you
questions, don’t get close to the car
(you could get pulled in)--and never
get in it.
— Strangers can be very tricky--
they can ask you to walk with them
to ‘show’ them something; they
can offer ‘to pay for your video
game, or ask you to help them find
a lost dog or cat. Don’t be fooled!
— Don’t ell anyone your name and
address when you're out walking,
and don’t think that because some-
one knows your name that they
know you’maybe they're just look-
ing at your T-shirt.
— If you think you're in any danger,
yell and run to the nearest store or
Safe House or back to school.
— Avoid strangers who seem to be
hanging around public rest rooms,
playgrounds or school yards. Tell
your teacher or another adult you
trust about it.
— Some adults can tell you what to
do--such as a teacher or a police
officer. But no adult can tell you
what to do just because he or she is
bigger than you. If you're ever in a
situation that makes you feel
uncomfortable in any way, you have
the right to say NO, loud and clear.
— Have your mom or dad--or both
of them--walk your school route
with you to make sure it’s com-
pletely safe.
— Always stick to the same safe
route in going to and coming from
school, and never hitchhike--never!

CADET GREGORY G.
MCTAGUE, son of Peter J. and
Judith A. McTague of 388 Old Lake
Road, Dallas, received practical
work in military leadership at the
U.S. Army ROTC advanced camp,
Fort Bragg, N.C.
The six-week camp, attended by
cadets normally between their third
and fourth year of college, includes
instruction in communications,
management and survival training.
Successful completion of the
advanced camp and graduation
from college results in a commis-
sion as a second lieutenant in either
the U.S. Army, Army Reserve or
national Guard for the cadet.
Management By Wandering
Around (MBWA) is equated with
customer service since care to
detail and close customer relations
are two slices of the same pie. To
their eyes, pricing policies are sec-
ondary to superior service. Quality
is more important than quantity of
production. Productivity follows in
the footsteps of human contact and
customer based initiatives.
For government and non-profit
organizations such as hospitals, air-
force command centers, and other
types of non-profit making opera-
tions, they offer the same advice as
offered to profit-making institutions.
An example they cite where strong
progress has been accomplished to
revitalize a community is the city of
Baltimore where steps have led to
significant changes and economic
development second to none in the
nation.
Can these qualities be applied to a
region such as Northeastern Penn-
sylvania? There should be no ques-
for excellence. Ability to achieve
the best in talent and resources
which exist in the region must be
established in the form of goals
which all organizations need to
strive to achieve. Not only organiza-
tions need to accomplish this, but
individuals who share in the respon-
sibility to make Northeastern Penn-
sylvania a shining example for eco-
nomic growth and quality of life.
Responsible organizations need to
set a pattern of leadership which
will enable all public and private
organizations and citizens to seek
the best which each person can give
toward achievement.
Success in the non-profit world or
governmental circle may not be as
easy as Peters and Austin describe
for the profit-making sector since
other complicating factors enter the
process by which excellence is
achieved, however, the technique
for innovation and teamwork are
capable at all levels of society, if
shared cooperative goal setting ‘is
obtained.
In Northeastern Pennsylvania,
while most people would suggest
that jobs and economic development
still represent the number one prior-
ity for action, the ways by which
that priority is to be achieved are
split in many different fashions.
Excellence can not be found until
there is a consensus as to how. to
reach economic growth and until all
parties who are involved in the
development process share equally
in the means by which that process
can and should occur in coming
years. The theme of excellence
needs to be stressed and restressed
so that it becomes part of the
apparatus of action and decision
making rather than a happy acci-
dent or a left over thought which
can or can not occur depending
upon circumstances. ‘
Peters and Austin believe that
excellence can be planned, that
people who are in a position of
leadersship can exert a passion for
achieving high standards and qual-
ity of excellence in many disci-
plines, and that one of the best ways
to achieve this is to allow a free
floating process of innovation and
entrepreneurship to occur in profit
making, non-profit and governmen-
tal worlds.
While the book is not tightly
written, it represents a continous
array of examples by which excel-
lence can be promoted. It should be
utilized by Northeastern Pennsyl-
vanis as a guide for achieving
constructive change, a positive out-
look, and a role model for the
pursuit of excellence.
(Howard J. Grossman is the exec-
utive director of the Economic
Development Council of Northeast
Pennsylvania).

By DAVE TROSTEL
Special to The Dallas Post
We’d often walk towards the
Sunset section of Harveys Lake and
somewhere around the bend near
the old Brokenshire Hotel, we'd
glimpse over the still waters and try
to picture what Benjamin Harvey
saw when he came upon this body of
water.
To us, the lake, aside from the
daily problems that are faced, is
simply a beautiful spot, where for
over 10 decades millions of persons
have flocked to enjoy the ‘‘find”’ of
Harvey.
Just a few weeks ago, our family
had a Tom and Ellen Williams
reunion at the lake, not too far from
where Tom operated a candy store,
which was located where Sunset
Marina has opened its facilities.
We tried to envision life at the
lake, in the times of steam boats
and trains, but at the reunion,
pictures of yesteryear, of swimmers
at Sandy Bottom or at Sunset cer-
tainly told much more.
And then some stories unfolded, of
“Grandpa” Williams and his candy
store and his house on Carpenter
Road and how some of his grand-
children, namely Bob Kramer and
Cal Naylor, a cousin by the way of
Leonar Naylor who resides near the
outlet section of the lake, spent
summers, working, but also doing
quite a bit of swimming.
There are so many names that
are part of the century-old history
of Harveys Lake, where down
through the years, there have been
some sad moments as well as many
happy days.
Our family, some up in years,
went back, a way back, to the
happy times spent at the lake.
We knew a lot of names they
recalled, because people like Mr.
and Mrs. Grover Anderson and the
Sordoni family are easy to relate to
current times. Anderson’s spacious,
almost too beautiful to not stop and
snap a few pictures, sits off the
Point Breeze section of the lake.
Sordoni’s home a half mile beyond
Warden Place on the lake road, are
but just two of the many eye-
catching sections of Harveys Lake.
It seemed like just yesterday,
actually it was almost 35 years ago
when Frank and Edna Kramer took
their daughter, Naomi, her boy-
friend (that’s us) on a ride that
seemed to curve its own route
through the ‘back way” to the lake
from the Kramer home in Duryea.
Moving down that hill near
Sunset, we saw Harveys Lake for
the first time. It became a dream to
live here someday. From high atop
Andersons’ hill and even in the deep
wooded area of Kitchen Road, we
fell in love with the lake, and its
people.
Sandy Bottom, Sandy Beach,
Hanson’s Picnic Grove, or a stop at
Jones’ Pancake House or Joe’s
Grotto and maybe a soda or two
from Jack Link’s refreshment stand
were always highlights.
Drury’s has always been one of a
“must - get-to-places’, especially in
the sunrise hours of each day where
stories of the previous night’s
events or the tales of fishermen can
be heard.
A lot of changes have been duly
recorded at the lake since we first
set eyes on it back in 1950 and no
doubt people like the Ide family or
the Casterline family or the Ander-
son family could add earlier years
and how changes developed.
Special to us and our family, was
the beach, first at Link’s, then later
when Warden Place Association was
formed. It’s been a beautiful experi-
ence watching families grow and
meeting so many people, like John
and Helen Frank or Patti and Alex
Choman, and Ken and Mry Olshef-
ski, and their respective families.
And then we think of the Bill
Morrisey family and Bill and Jean
DeRose, or Mr. and Mrs. Lou
Cohen, the in-laws to Dr. Irv Jacobs
of Dallas, or Sterling and Ruth
Jones and Bern and Marie Gillis
Stets or Jim Ward, juist to name a
few.
We loved those ferris wheel rides
at Hanson's. Either at night or early
evening, we’d snap a photo of the
lake. And all the kids had great
moments to remember on the
“kiddie rides.” It’s a shame that
era can’t be enjoyed by today’s
young children.
We recall Mickey Tattersall con-
ducting a wedding from atop the
roller coaster at Hanson’s and the
cool boat rides on Gene Henrich’s
(formerly of Elmcrest) in board
motor boat, which he used to house
at Stan Urbanski’s place near
Sunset.
Sure the folk lore and the tales of
yesteryear are many, but Friday
night the “place would be jump-
ing,” from one end of the lake to the
other and the revival meetings on
the island near Sunset, could be
heard from most any place along
the lake road. ig
Fourth of July and Labor Day
were and still are, two of the big
times on the lake, with the sailboat
parade Labor Day eve still viewed
by a larger number of people as
summer is officially concluded.
But the nice times come when
things are a bit slow in traffic and
weekends are over.
Or better yet, for the latest in
good health tips, try some swim-
ming and if you care to run around
the lake, check your doctor and if
you get the OK, you’ll know what
“Little Freddy” meant when he
said, ‘“There’s no place like Har-
veys Lake.”
(Dave Trostel, a former newspa-
per editor, has a home at Harveys
Lake and spends the summer
months in the Back Mountain area.
